Horror stories certainly have a way of impacting people — especially when they’re in a medium as visual as film or television.
As kids, we avoided them as much as possible. After taking in a horrifying scene or two on screen, no one really wanted to see a ghost or a murderous doll in the dark. The experience may be different for us as adults, who can watch these films for entertainment. But there will always be those traumatizing scenes that we won’t forget that easily.
After all, it isn’t a good horror movie if there’s no scary scene that lingers with us beyond childhood. Who could forget a classic like the shower murder with the violins screeching in Psycho, or Sadako infamously crawling creepily out of the TV in The Ring? The classics all have a particular sequence we know them by, and every horror film that comes out attempts to bring us viewers a memorable one.
This Halloween season is the perfect time to binge-watch our favorite horror movies and shows as we relive the terrifying scenes that kept us up at night as children. PLDT Home has all the titles everyone needs for a proper scare-a-thon — there are so many to choose from across HBO GO, Lionsgate Play, and Viu, all of which are accessible at a better deal via a PLDT Home subscription.
Ready for some major trauma throwback? This long weekend, add these five horrific-turned-iconic moments to your Halloween 2023 watchlist!
That moment when you can’t seem to escape a stare… (The Nun II)
Set in 1956 France, The Nun 2 follows Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga, American Horror Story, The Bling Ring) as she investigates the mysterious death of a priest and comes face-to-face with the demon nun Valak. It also takes place in a boarding school, where young students also encounter Valak and other horrors.
Just like the first movie and other films in the TheConjuring universe, Valak is a terrifying presence that often startles viewers with her dark, ghoulish appearance. One scene in The Nun 2 shows Sophie (Katelyn Rose Downey, The Princess) running through the school’s dark corridors, where she witnesses Valak watching her at the end of each hallway. The scene creates a tense atmosphere as viewers watch Sophie try to escape the hallways and Valak’s deathly gaze, making them feel like they’re running away with her.
2. That moment when your home suddenly feels unsafe… (The Grudge)
The Grudge centers around an American nurse (Sarah Michelle Gellar, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) living in Tokyo, who becomes the target of an angry spirit terrorizing her home. She later finds out that she’s living at the site of a deadly curse that claims the lives of those that encounter it.
The film is mostly remembered for the spine-chilling appearances of ghosts Kayako and Toshio. A scene that’s haunted many viewers to this day is the staircase encounter, where Kayako chases the protagonist while crab-walking down the steps. What truly makes this so terrifying is the croaking noise of the death rattle that comes out of her mouth. It was an unexpected scene that shocked even the most dedicated horror fans.
3. That moment when gore becomes the name of the game… (Saw)
For slasher film buffs, Saw is a definite must-watch. The entire franchise is centered around mastermind Jigsaw (Tobin Bell, Malice, The Road to El Dorado), and how he tests humanity’s resolve through deadly “games.” The first Saw movie sets the tone, introducing viewers to the types of “games” victims are forced to participate in. Most of the time, they have to hurt themselves to avoid getting killed.
Saw isn’t for the faint of heart as it shows a lot of gruesome scenes. Probably the most iconic was the film’s final segment, where Dr. Lawrence Gordon (Cary Elwes, The Princess Bride) cuts off his own leg using a saw to get out of his chains. Even with one’s eyes closed, Lawrence’s painful screams are very much heard.
4. That moment when you realize your misadventure is no fun at all… (The Cabin in the Woods)
Horror fans love The Cabin in the Woods because of how it satirizes the genre while still maintaining the spooks. It follows a group of teenagers going on a camping trip — and as they spend the night in the namesake cabin, they witness disturbing horrors that are trying to kill them.
The Cabin in the Woods’ scares are inspired by other iconic horror movies, which can sometimes be comedic. But one of the most haunting moments in the film is when Dana (Kristen Connolly, House of Cards) and Marty (Fran Kranz, Dollhouse) discover a secret lab that houses all the horrors that are meant to torment and murder humans. They are later released in the lab, attacking all the defenseless scientists and workers. The entire scene is bloody and brutal, which has left a lasting impression on many viewers.
5. That moment when aliens don’t seem as friendly as those seen in cartoons … (Duty After School)
Korean series Duty After School tells the story of Seongjin High students who are recruited by the government to fight against man-eating alien creatures hailing from the sky. It’s the perfect series to binge-watch for people who love the sci-fi dystopia genre.
There are some, err, stressful scenes with the students trying to defend themselves from the creatures – something fans of gore and monsters will enjoy. One gruesome scene shows a group of students running away from an alien attack as the camera pans across a street filled with dismembered bodies. A female student who tries to shoot the alien also gets stabbed in front of her peers. That’s the worst one can ever experience during a deadly invasion, and with wild rumors of aliens swirling about nowadays, it’s something people wouldn’t want to think about if extraterrestrial guests ever come knocking.

Prepare to be on the edge of your seat this October 20, 2023, as Lionsgate Play releases “Kandahar,” a riveting action drama that promises high tension and relentless excitement. This gripping action-drama film follows CIA Black Ops agent Tom Harris, played by Gerard Butler (Greenland, Angel Has Fallen, 300), and his Afghan interpreter Mo, played by Navid Negahban (TV’s Homeland, 24, Legion).
Gerard Butler at His Best: From Destruction to Desperate Escape
In “Kandahar,” we see Gerard Butler, known for his electrifying performances in “Greenland” and “Angel Has Fallen,” take on the role of Tom Harris, a CIA Black Ops agent. His mission turns sour when he’s exposed as the man behind the destruction of an Iranian nuclear facility, setting off a desperate race against time. With only 30 hours to reach the airport in Kandahar, Afghanistan, Tom’s survival hangs in the balance, making for a movie experience filled with suspense.
An Unlikely Alliance: Navigating Conflicts and Terrains
Tom’s escape is complicated by the need for an ally, found in his Afghan interpreter, Mo, portrayed by Navid Negahban of “Homeland” and “24.” Mo, haunted by his past and disillusioned with the violence surrounding him, initially resists but eventually joins Tom’s frantic dash to safety. Their evolving friendship amidst the escape adds a layer of depth to the non-stop action.
Historic Cinematic Feat: “Kandahar” Breaks New Ground
Adding to the movie’s allure is its historic achievement as the first Western film shot entirely in Saudi Arabia.
Kandahar has made history as the first Western movie filmed entirely in Saudi Arabia. Talking about the experience filming in the city of Al’Ula, Gerard Butler said,“That was an exceptionally unique place to film and live. From the second I arrived there, I knew it was special. I’d seen photos of the area of course, and I knew it looked amazing, but just the energy there is what really takes you by surprise… I loved being in Al’Ula and discovering Saudi Arabia In my time off, I spent time just seeing the history, the nature. But in terms of a canvas to film on, there’s so much personality there, and it’s so dynamic. The location adds a whole other character in the movie.“
Elevating Entertainment: Lionsgate Play’s Commitment to Quality
Cecille Mariño, General Manager of Lionsgate Philippines, highlights the platform’s dedication to delivering top-notch entertainment. “Lionsgate Play is all about bringing high-quality entertainment to our subscribers, and Kandahar is a perfect addition to our library.

Venture back into the seedy underbelly of London’s criminal world when Gangs of London returns to Lionsgate Play for its second season. After the violent events of Season 1, the map and soul of London have been redrawn, with surviving gangs scattered and new brutal leaders in power. The ruthless Koba (Waleed Zuaiter) and his paramilitary enforcers now hold a complete monopoly over London’s drug trade, but opposition is brewing as hidden agendas and surprising alliances come to light. As old foes are forced to work together and family members betray each other, new players emerge, leading to a battle for London’s soul. Starring Sope Dìrísù, Michelle Fairley, and Brian Vernel, Gangs of London Season 1 and 2 promises to be an unforgettable ride. Stream it exclusively in the Philippines on Lionsgate Play from July 28
Talking about how Season 2 builds up on the previous season, Executive Producer Thomas Benski said, “London is a bigger character, even more so than in the first one. The family drama is very dark, on another level, the action is bigger and the scale of it is bigger. If you have a successful S1, automatically the scale will come with you and there’s confidence in certain components of it, whereas for the first one you have no idea if it’s going to work. For S2 we knew certain things would work and therefore we could push those elements forward. For instance, Sope’s incredible abilities, Joe’s incredible charisma, the full cast like Michelle, Lucian. All of those were things that we were confident about. We were trying to build a framework that really enhanced that.”

Almost every car enthusiast has dreamt of driving a Lamborghini at least once in their life.
But little did we know that winemaker Ferruccio Lamborghini – the inventor, mechanic, and car designer who created Automobili Lamborghini in 1963 – had a Cinderella-like story: he was a young Italian, born to grape farmers, with huge ambitions of competing with the already established supercar maker Ferrari. In fact, Lamborghini didn’t always make supercars; Ferruccio made tractors in the beginning — yes, big lumbering tractors, for farms.
Lamborghini’s fascinating story was recently made into the biographical drama Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend. Produced by Ambi Pictures, Grindstone Entertainment Group, and Iervolino & Lady Bacardi Entertainment and written and directed by Robert Moresco (Crash), the movie was released in select theaters in the United States back in November 2022. It stars Frank Grillo (Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Billions) as the Italian industrialist Ferruccio Lamborghini.
For the Philippine premiere of Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend, streaming platform Lionsgate Play is giving PLDT Home customers exclusive access to the movie as it drops on January 28, 2023.
The film is set after World War II, when Lamborghini began making tractors from reconfigured surplus military machines. He later went into manufacturing air-conditioning and heating systems, contributing to his eventual success and wealth. His dream, however, was always to make a sports car that could compete with Ferrari, whose 250 GT coupe he bought in 1958. (He owned Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Jaguar and Mercedes Benz cars among others prior to his first Ferrari.)
In the movie, when Ferruccio offers Enzo Ferrari a partnership to make the best car in the world (and a solution to Ferrari’s problematic clutch), Ferrari tells him, “Go back to your tractors, farmer.” Adding insult to injury, the older man says, “Do you know what they say about Lamborghini? He is too uneducated to understand what he doesn’t know.”
In real life, Ferruccio tells the story of what Ferrari also said: “’Lamborghini, you may be able to drive a tractor but you will never be able to handle a Ferrari properly.’ This was the point when I finally decided to make a perfect car.”
Once Ferruccio visited Eduardo Miura’s ranch in Seville where the latter raised bulls for bullfighting, he had an emblem for his supercar. He also named a lot of them after famous fighting bulls like the Lamborghini Gallardo (2003-2013), which was named after one of the five Spanish bull breed castes, and Huracan (2014 to present), after a famous bull that fought in 1879.
One of the earliest cars Lamborghini made was the Miura, which he named after his friend with whom he shared a fascination for bullfighting. Lamborghini manufactured fewer than 800 Miuras between 1966 and 1973. Today, the car costs around $1.6 million (P87 million). The last scene of the film shows Ferruccio driving a classic yellow Miura and the end credit text reading, “When the Museum of Modern Art in New York exhibited the Lamborghini Miura, they declared it to be ‘the most beautiful car ever made.’”
